DAVID NURSE
This website is a landing place for David Nurse
My main interest at the moment is in photography and the history of South Wales which I am currently trying to combine into a blog.
I currently cross-post the same information across two blogs one at my Blogger site and the Other at my Behance site.
The main reason for this is that in the past I have lost the information on my blog posts by the blog site shutting down.
I hope cross-posting will at least provide one solution for some longevity.
The blogger site will have visit information details such as the google, os and what three words location and some visitor information which the Behance site will not, however, the Behance site will have higher resolution images.
Note: The Behance site may not work on a mobile if this is the case for you then please click HERE for my "front Page"
There will also be some posts that will just be photographic.
